Our [people's] very saving is associated with our gratitude. Which follows: if our fall in the garden was ingratitude, then salvation must be intimately related to giving of thanks.

Instead of giving someone a piece of your mind, it turns out far better if you give them a piece of your heart.

Thanksgiving creates abundance.

God doesn't want your leftovers. God wants your love overtures, your first-overs, because He is your first love.

...the secret to joy is to keep seeking God where we doubt He is.

Writing is this act of faith - a bit like driving in the fog: you can hardly see just in front of you. But you trust God's leading you and you just write into the space you can see ahead of you.

At the last, this is what will determine a fulfilling, meaningful life, a life that, behind all the facades, every one of us longs to live: gratitude for the blessings that expresses itself by becoming the blessing.
